Still sorting images and processing a few at a time from the Bosque trip with Bob Williams. The first morning we arrived just before daylight at the crane pools to find many of the birds that had roosted in the shallow water were frozen in. There are train tracks just across the road and a train came through which created a very loud roar....many of the birds tried to fly but were stuck in the ice! As the sun came over the horizon it soon warmed enough to let them break free. On this shot, even though the BG is too busy, I decided to save it because it shows the ice around the birds legs
